Is the Coast secretly the best place to experiment with small business ideas? When Jess Price bought Fromagerie de Baie in Gibsons last year, it meant she was taking on running a third small business in under two years.
Now she managesGood Fridays Cheese Co (Insta),Good Fridays General Store (Insta), and Good Fridays Grazing - the lil' charcuterie hustle that started the whole adventure.
Ahead of the cheese shop's official grand opening, Jess explores what motivates a newbie to the Coast to take on so many projects in such a brie-f amount of time.
The cheese shop’s official opening event is on Saturday, January 18th, from 11am to 4pm. Swing by for raffles, giveaways and samples. You’ll find it tucked behind the Venture Village complex.
How many cheese puns do you count in the interview? Let me know onInstagram. And while you’re there, follow theGibsons IGA Instagram account (which makes sense when you hear the episode).
